About the Item

Original vintage anti-American imperialism World War Two political propaganda poster - De Dollarpoliep / The Dollar Polyp or The Dollar Octopus - featuring an image of a US dollar sign with octopus like tentacles reaching into different countries on a map in and around North and South America marking areas with dates on each tentacle, war ships at sea and military planes flying towards it on both sides from the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans with sunken ships at sea and a sword marked with a rising sun emblem of Japan cutting through the tentacle dated 1898 round the Philippines on a black background, the title text above and information on the side and below with the quote on a paper background, translated from the Dutch - The well-known American publicist Henry R. Luce recently wrote in Life a magazine read by millions of Americans: "In 1919 we had a great opportunity to take control of the world. Wilson made bad use of it and we lost that chance. But whatever happens, by our collective effort Roosevelt must succeed where Wilson failed." For Americans, the law of nations is the law of the wilderness. America to Americans means that every country where the Yankees want to plant their flag suddenly becomes America and falls under the Monroe Doctrine. The history of America is one imperialistic rampage, shooting dollars instead of bullets! By exploiting European wars, America's traditional policy is to enrich itself with European interests in the Atlantic and the Pacific. So Roosevelt also thought to exploit this war for American world domination! Already dying England has made its sacrifice. But for the first time, America miscalculated! Japan and Germany now encircle America in the two Oceans. The Pacific fleet was destroyed at Pearl Harbor. The fleets of the Atlantic, warships and merchant ships, are falling victim to the deadly underwater war. The arms of the Dollar octopus are cut off. The gold of the international plutocracy, concentrated in Fort Knox, is now surrounded by the irresistible armies of the young peoples, by the armies of labour.
